According to a police report, Joseph Pszczola was out on Memphis‘ famed Beale St. Wednesday night at the Blues City Cafe.
WHBQ-TV reports that Pszczola was “ranting and raving” inside the bar at roughly 10:30 p.m. Employees flagged down police officers on the street for help.
When officers entered the bar and asked Pszczola to leave, he instead continued to rant and rave.
One of the officers said Pszczola smelled of booze and was slurring his words.
The confrontation eventually made its way out onto the sidewalk. Pszczola continued harassing police, pushing one before attempting to punch him.
According to WHBQ, what happened next is that the officer took it upon himself to strike Pszczola in the face, causing him to fall to the ground. – READ MORE
